Hard Drive Shredding and Media Destruction

When a drive has failed, or your policy says data-bearing media must be physically destroyed, we shred it. On site with your team watching, or at our facility, with every serial number recorded on your certificate.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do SSDs need a different shredder?

SSDs store data on small chips, so they need a finer shred size than hard drives. We use the right particle size for each media type.

What happens to the shredded material?

It goes to a licensed recycler for metal recovery, with documentation.

Can we watch the shredding?

Yes. On-site shredding is designed to be witnessed.
